Gracias Raul, Thanks for the quick 2nd repply. I was just about to write and ask if my understanding of 775 was correct, since all the users 'share' PHP. I will leave it as 777. Just something in my spine jumped when I saw 777. It is the 1st no-no that we are always told. Anyways thanks a lot, currently my CPG is 'private' while I make all the tests and make sure the config is right. Just didn't want to make it public, while I still had access questions. Thx again, -Jorge

Thanks. You answered the 2nd question fully. I was pretty sure that was the answer from reading other posts but wasn't 100% sure. I can use CPG to delete the files (I actually should to remove entries from MySql as well). But wouldn't that php script to delete the files be accessible by everyone? (I will post in the CPG support forum how the CPG user accts are handled). I still would like to know about my 1st question, Coopermine said that the albums directory should be either 755 or 777 for it to work. (depending on server configs) 755 I am comfortable with but not 777. CPG doesn't work fully (can't upload pics in batch mode) in 755 w TCH though, and it requests 777. In Unix, with 777 any user can delete the dir. I don't want visitors to be able to delete the albums? How could I pervent it short of making the albums private? (.htaccess)

Hi, I wanted to know if it was possible to run Coppermine (which uses PHP) and create directories that are not 777. I am having problems if I want to limit the permissions. Also is the reason why files/directories created with php can't be deleted because it's ruuning in Safe Mode? Thx, -Jorge
